Answer 1

Feelings are feelings
u cannot wish them away

acceptance ...

Answer 2

Forgiveness is good for the cleansing of the soul! I was faced with this dilemma last week. Although I know that I am the parent and I make all the decisions (because I know what's best for the family) I sat down with my children and discussed the situation. I listened intently to how they felt on moving and leaving their friends. I ultimately decided that moving was not the correct thing to do because it wasn't feasible at the time. But my children were angry like you because they didn't want to leave their familiar environment. They hugged me and told me that they loved me. Forgive your mom, I'm sure your move is what was best!

Answer 3

Your mom isn't "making you move". Your mom is moving for reasons that are valid and important to your mom - like a husband/fiance/significant other, or a job, or to be nearer to her family of origin. If you are still dependent on her, then you have to move. That's just the way it is.

It's probably no easier for her to give up her friends, her work, and whatever else she is leaving behind than it is for you, so stop feeling sorry for yourself and try looking at things from her perspective for a minute.

There's nothing to forgive. Your mother does not owe you a duty to live in the same place if it is not in her best interest to do so.

Answer 4

Of course you should forgive your mom. I'm sure she has your best interest at heart. This can be a great change for you if you let it. That's a part of life. Sometimes we have to move on. So embrace the move as a positive. Forgive your mom. And your friendships will change but it doesn't have to end.

Answer 5

Why should you forgive your mother? well,she feeds you ,clothes you,gives you a place to live and obviously isn't moving just besause she likes to pack.there certainly has to be a reason. You don't think she is doing this just to upset you,do you? You may not want to leave friends but there is no reason to be mad at your mother. you must be yery young to have this attitude without knowing her situation. Forgive her? I think you should apologize for being an immature brat and have a talk with her so you can see life from a realistic point of view

Answer 6

Yes maybe the move is for reasons you can not understand right now. She may be moving for a better job or better living arrangements. Maybe the town you live in she feels is not a safe place and she is trying to protect you. Forgive her and thank her and tell her you love her. The most important thing is you have a good mom.

Answer 7

How do you know you won't make new friends? I moved my kids from Iowa to Florida. They thought the world was ending........ for about a week. One of them moved back when she got older......... and the other 2 are still in Florida. You have options. And look at it this way, you won't be a kid forever.I am sure your Mom has a good reason to move you and her. It is super hard to make decisions like that in the first place.I am sure she put you into consideration first to see if it wouldn't benefit you as well as her.Take a positive outook on this. Maybe you will be surprised what new adventures are out there waiting for you and maybe a mentor that will help you on your road to adulthood and deciding what you want to do with your life someday. Open your mind and make room for something good to enter it.

Answer 8

Hell YES you better forgive her. She is making you move for a REASON. Do you have any idea what that means? You messed up in her eyes. I do not know the relationship or what is going on and it is none of my business but I can tell you the following: Your mom brought you into this world and she will always love you dearly. Maybe it is time for little birdie to fly. Fly little birdie fly. It is time for you to get out of the nest. Did it ever occur to you that she is trying to make you to become a responsible adult??
Hello???
Believe me, your mom has very good intentions and does not want to hurt you only for you to get out on your own and live in the real world.
Don't be mad at your mom. Maybe you need to look at yourself and try to figure out what you did. I will guarantee you that your mom didn't just wake up and decide to throw her loving daughter out of the house. Anyway, I only have good intentions and sorry, if you think I am looking at it from your moms point of view but I am looking at the overall picture and it sounds to me like your mom made the right decision.
YOU GOT TO GO, GIRL!!!!!!

Answer 9

Yes, forgive her. You can't do anything about the move and you just need to accept it. Still keep in touch with your old friends but also make some new ones. Don't worry, things will get better.

Answer 10

Yep... she's only going to be around for a little while. I moved every three tears when I was a kid. It was cool, you got to see new place and meet new friends... some of which I still keep up with. Forgive your Mom, she's doing the best she can.

Answer 11

The short answer is Yes, but don't let your feelings go unresolved or it will a source of conflict later on. Tell her exactly how you feel, but know that it probably isn't going to change the outcome. If you can reach the point where you both understand and respect each others position, that's about as good as it can get for you. Give it a chance. You never know who you'll meet and become friends with at your new place.
